Active Fault Tolerant Control – explained

Drones enable us to perform unprecedented feats: see the world from a bird's perspective, reach remote places thought to be inaccessible, deliver packages or race at incredible speeds. No doubt, drones are awesome pieces of flying hardware, but as all human-made systems, they are prone to failures. At Fusion Engineering, we believe that unprecedented feats require unprecedented levels of safety. Therefore, we put great effort into creating a bulletproof flight control system by employing, among other things, redundant subsystems and Active Fault Tolerant Control (AFTC) methodologies.
